Casting/Showreel Workshop
It looks super. Thank you so much for all
your hard work in creating this - proud to have it on Spotlight,
thank you - Lucas Ward -
I just wanted to say thank you, Jarrett (age 11) really enjoyed
the workshop, met some lovely people and had fun. He
certainly learnt a lot from you and David in one day, not only
about techniques but also the demands and expectations of the
business, and the level of competition out there! - Lynn Mee, -
Epsom, Surrey
Emily (age 18) really enjoyed today, thank you. She was
buzzing with how she can improve by keeping herself in the room
with interesting chat, and revealling her personality as a help in
landing a part. David had so much knowledge of the right agents to
go for and how Emily should market herself. It was a real eye
opener. Emily has been to other casting workshops but no-one has
ever told her all this before. Margaret James-

Ollie (age 17)I would like to thank you for the support given to me yesterday. It was also a real eye-opener and I really learnt more from myself as a performer. You helped me understand that I am a 'product' and should be marketing myself to help me get the best chance of success. I want to thank David and Jane for their advice as it has been strongly reflected on, thank you! And see you in the summer for the showreel workshop. Ollie Bridgewater - Birmingham

SCRIPTS FOR PERIOD REELS-
What will the scripts be? They will be adaptations from novels
or excerpts from plays or film scripts that are relevant to the
era. They will be 1-2 pages long and in this case you will get the
complete scene to take whatever excerpt you want to add to your
reel. We do not give whole scenes in contemporary
showreels.
The scripts cannot be given in advance, because we wait til the course is booked and chose suitable scripts for the varying participants. we obviously want something dramatic and emotional, and that can include happy go lucky like Enola Holmes, or Little House on the Prairie, Little Women. It's not always dark. Darker characters might be Mrs Danvers, Mr and Mrs Squeers, Strict governess, Dr Curlew, Bill Sykes etc. Each person will have the chance to say what type of character they wish to play.
VICTORIAN
SHOWREEL SCENES
Victorian period drama: Moby Dick, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, Mill On the Floss, Forsyte Saga, The Crimson Petal and The White, Fingersmith, Enola Holmes and many more.
London Hastings
ROARING TWENTIES SHOWREEL SCENE
Twenties period drama: The Great Gatsby, Peaky Blinders, Downton Abbey, Brideshead Revisited, Upstairs Downstairs, The House of Eliott, Boardwalk Empire, The King's Speech, Changeling, Anastasia and many more.
Would a period piece in this era be good for your showreel?
Character roles and aristocrats, young flappers
and business men from the city including
gangsters.
This was the era of new rebellion and clubs and
dancing after the austerity of the War. Children in 1920's films
were Ballet Shoes (Emma Watson)Bugsy Mallone (Jodie Foster)
Atonement (Saoirse Ronan) Some of these films are breakout films
for those who starred in them

Sorry we had to cancel the other London Victorian Workshop
as we said we could not touch any furniture or sit on it - (no good
to us at all)
I film on a Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4K with a separate
cinematographer and some lighting. The majority go for this and we
produce high quality showreels from this option. Minimum 4 in the
group. Usual price £250 per day - If you can get together 6 +
persons I will travel anywhere in the country to film you! If you
want 1 scene to pep up your showreel its £90.
If you want a stand alone showreel, that is only you in the workshop, where I get other actors in to play opposite you and pay them a small fee to do this
price £600 for me to make and edit. 3 scenes, separate
cinematographer., makeup and hair artist.
Please note that for child showreels there is not a
waiting area so parents are requested to drop off and pick up the
children. There are cafes and shops nearby. Bluewater shopping is
20 minutes away. Knole Park for a walk and look at the house and
deer in the park is 15 mins away.
Please note that we are unable to give the full edited scenes for you to edit further. We prefer to edit ourselves any material filmed by Lumino Films. However we are happy to add other extra scenes at no charge to your showreel.
We are happy to make small amendments or reorder scenes
once more after the final edit is sent to you. However we will not
refilm scenes on another day without charge.

PERIOD SHOWREEL SCENES
We are holding workshops throughout the year to film a period scene for your showreel. The scenes will be in a genuine period location, have costume and costume supervisor provided, plus hair and makeup. The scripts will be period appropriate.
There are many period dramas being cast all the time and it helps to show CD's what you can do. Besides it's fun.
In addition when you sign up there will be a chance to add a
period style headshot or a group photo in costume at a small extra
charge by a professional photographer. Mobile phones will not be
allowed on the film set.
This price is for one scene. Maximum 12 actors per
day.
THE FIFTIES SHOWREEL SCENES
The fifties was a time of glamour, prohibition in America and a golden era in film with Marilyn Monro, Frank Sinatra. At home the housewife was born, very much under the influence and control of her husband. Few rebelled, but we will do a murder scene in the beautiful 50's home we have found. Teddy Boys and Bobby Girls were also all the rage .
TV like Happy Days, Swiss Family Robinson perpetuated this fantasy of a good life after the War. Other films of the era re Bugsy Malone, Mona Lisa, Howl, Hollywoodland, J Edgar, New York New York, Some Like it Hot, A Time to Kill, Grease, The Marvellous Mrs Maisel and many more.
Would your showreel benefit
from either the period murder scene or the glamour of the clubland
life all set in the 1950's ?
THE WILD WEST SHOWREEL SCENES
Wild West drama set in 1870's: True Grit, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, The Lone Ranger (in part) Deadwood, The Wild, Wild West.
Cowboys, Indians, pioneers, women and men, glamorous and gritty. We have found a whole wild west town at a location in Kent.
Would
you like to play a scene, excellent for your showreel as it
incorporates Victorian styles and a different
outlook?
